    Jim,
    
              Thanks for the info. I called them and they did have one
    caliber I was looking for but their price was quite high ($227.00).
    The average price seems to be running $125-$150, but they did have an
    Aristocrat for $287.00 which is only the rear stock w/receiver and 
    forend. That price wasn't bad for someone who was looking to purchase
    one of these guns. Well hopefully I'll get more leads.
    
    
                                                      Thanks Again,
    
                                                           Guy

    Thompson was really no help, they just tried to get me to buy barrels
    for the T/C 87. But the did give me one lead the name and number for
    President of the Thompson Collectors Assoc. which is Joe Wright @ (508)
    393-3834.

    I only live about 50 miles from both T/C & Fox Ridge. T/C has sold out
    of the T/C 83 barrels long ago, and buying a barrel from Fox Ridge will
    have stamping on the barrel showing it came from there. I have made calls
    around and talked with different people. The only thing I can really do
    is watch SGN & Gunlist for ads, and hopefully someone may see some for
    sale at a gun show and take the dealers info for me.
    
                                                              Thanks,
